What Does Oil Do for My Vehicle?
"I already have to put gasoline in my car! Do I really need oil, too?" Yes, you absolutely do. Your vehicle's engine is made up of dozens of moving parts, all working in conjunction to get you from A to B. Unfortunately, their constant motion and hard work also produce a lot of friction and heat. Without protection, your parts would quickly wear out and break down, forcing you to make constant and expensive repairs.
Engine oil provides the protection your vehicle needs. It lubricates your engine's various components and keeps them cool. This helps your parts work hard and last longer. An oil change is an affordable necessity that will keep you on the road.
When Should I Get an Oil Change?
As a general rule of thumb, it's recommended that Troy and Sterling Heights drivers get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every six months - whichever comes first! We know time can get away from us, though, and there are warning signs you can look for if you're not sure how long it's been since your last oil change. These include:
- A strong burning smell while your engine is operating.
- Your engine starts making unusual, loud knocking noises.
- A noticeable decrease in your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
- The oil levels look low, or the oil looks dark and dirty on the dipstick.
If you experience any of these, it's time to give us a call and set up an oil change.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Difference Between Natural and Synthetic Oil?
Natural oil is often cheaper, but also tends to break down more quickly, requiring more frequent change services. It's typically reserved for vehicles with older engines or for drivers who only do basic driving. Synthetic oil can cost more, but it also offers superior, longer-lasting protection compared to the natural variety.
How do you read a dipstick?
To read your vehicle's dipstick, park it and let it rest for a few minutes. After that, pop the hood, withdraw the dipstick, and wipe it clean. Reinsert the dipstick and then withdraw again. Examine the dipstick. If there's oil visible near the "full mark" then you have plenty of oil. If it's lower, you may want to consider contacting our service department for an appointment.
